Here’s The Full Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Soundtrack

Bangers, bangers everywhere. Here's the soundtrack for the new Guardians of the Galaxy movie.

The original Guardians of the Galaxy was as well beloved for its irreverent wit and likeable characters as it was its soundtrack. All across the world, sales of tapes and Rupert Holmes merchandise skyrocketed to new levels, so there’s almost as much pressure on Marvel to deliver another great set of songs as there is to make a worthy sequel.

Electric Light Orchestra’s “Mr. Blue Sky” seems like it has a lot of relevance to the movie, a song which James Gunn fought tooth and nail to get included. According to the director, it was originally meant to be in the first movie, but ended up getting cut. Gunn had to use his silvertongue to acquire the rights to the song again, going so far as to personally request them from Jeff Lynne:

“We had to really fight to get the song, and I personally appealed to Jeff Lynne. I think we made him an offer he couldn’t refuse.”

“Telltale’s Guardians of the Galaxy is off to a good start, though it’s too early to tell if it will be one of their best. The signs are all there, though. Let’s just hope the rest of the episodes can take the baton and run with it.”
